Apparently after taking over Palm and webOS, Hp will be manufacturing webOS smartphones to go up against the likes of Apple and the iPhone and Google’s Android devices, but will not make any Microsoft Windows Phone 7 devices.
According to an article over on Gizmodo by Casey Chan, during an interview with CNBC, Todd Bradley, HP Personal Systems Group Vice President said about Microsoft and Android smartphones…
“We continue to be Microsoft’s largest customer, and we continue to believe we will drive innovation with Microsoft. At the same time, I think it’s clear to say, that we’re very focused on the customer, and giving the customer the experience that’s important to them. We won’t do – will not do a Linux / Android phone. We won’t do a Microsoft phone…Our intent is to focus those resources and really make webOS the best OS it can be.”
So there you have it, HP won’t be offering any mobile phones sporting Microsoft Windows Phone 7 and will be sticking with webOS as their main mobile phone operating system, however just when we will see an HP webOS smartphone is anyone’s guess.
